Director Statement

I’m a firm believer in authentic storytelling. Drawing from your mind’s eye, penning it to paper, then putting it into action. That’s exactly how Lost Joy came to be. I had a location which inspired a vision, assembled a team which evoked passion, and together we made a movie. It was a wild ride where we learned on the job, and was one of the best experiences of my life. I wanted to tell a story that was engaging from the beginning and left the audience wanting more. Everything was designed to keep people on the edge of their seat, and filled with suspense and twists that would lure them back to watch it again and again. I’m proud of what we all achieved and am forever grateful to our entire cast and crew that made Lost Joy the amazing film that it is.
